2. I really think that massive boycotts won't do it
Or, at least they would take too long to build up steam and effect.

But massive demonstrations outside the media operations centers would. The demonstrations would have to be so huge as to be unavoidable and disruptive of programming.

(this is a post and run, as I am off to work right now, but a very important topic, so wanted to add a bit.)

4. Indeed. Mass communication is crucial,
and it is crucial that it is truthfull.
It can only be truthfull if it is dependent only on those who it is supposed to serve - which would be us.
